Waves Disturbances which travel through space and matter Carry energy and information Sometimes need medium to propagate in (mechanical waves, sound), sometimes don’t (EM waves)

MHD waves
3
Adiabatic MHD
4
Linearized MHD Assume equilibrium and small deviations from it: Then:
5
Linearized MHD Take time derivative of the momentum equation and substitute all other equations into it. 1 equation, 1 unknown! Linearized equation of motion. All studies of MHD waves and instabilities start from this equation.
